I perform and teach music for a living, and publish music instruction videos, books, and recordings. My You Tube videos consist of me playing solo, with my son as the "Fiddling Thomsons," and with various bands, on fiddle, piano, banjo, accordion, tin whistle, and celtic wooden flute.
I'm available to travel anywhere to perform and give educational music presentations for your club, group, school, etc.
You may notice in my videos that I play violin both left and right handed. There's an interesting story behind that. As a professional violinist I switched from playing right handed to left handed because of a physical disability called "focal dystonia." I've written a book and have posted videos about left handed violin playing.
Please contact me using the email address on my web site if you would like to learn to play one of the tunes on my videos or ask me a question. I can provide custom video instruction for you.
